FF6 ROTDS first time run playthrough

A physical cart copy? That sounds really awesome, I hope you're able to make all the proper tweaks so everything works right.

I never thought I'd live to see this day. Congrats mike!!

What will be the final selling price for this hack?

Hey

I really love that cart design, keep up the great work

Thanks Mac. =) Will do.

@ Angelo: I'm not exactly sure yet, but I will ask. I'm going to ask him (name is Eric Bishop) if he will also give carts to the other main people associated with helping make the hack as well. I'm pretty sure he will be good with that, I'm not sure of the cost or effort involved in creating a RotDS cart, but I do know he will be using a custom board that will allow for the expanded rom space (no sound issues), and he has to create the labels and paint it so to speak, meaning there will be options for cart colors, so it may be somewhere from $90-120 I'd guess, but I figure that's the least he could do considering the amount of potential profit he could make, but I guess no promises just yet. If nothing else I'd like to think a big ol' discount... He is a real cool guy so the outlook on that seems good. It would be fair, rather. Honestly I don't think he would have to do this, but like I say he is a good guy and I've been 'working' with him to get it on cart. Will report back with details on this asap!

Nice cart! Now i'd like to travel in the past and become part of the staff somehow in order of receiving the cart!
Anyway...


part 46: Searching for sidequests

Spoiler (Click to View)

Not too much rewarding...


-FILLER- Fair battle against the Lava Demon

Spoiler (Click to View)

It was a matter of pride: after having confirmation Lightsaber was broken, i used a savestate and fought a true battle against Lava Demon, it's not necessary showing the battle against Leviathan, since the Lava Demon is stronger...
PS. at a certain point of the second battle he uses Incinerate while dealing with throw menu window, and kicks me out of the window... can't say if that triggered any bug in the inventory, since i loaded the save state before floating continent after i won.


part 47: A new dungeon, huh?

Spoiler (Click to View)

I wonder if i have to come back with Otis... what's the point in having a save in the last room?

part 48: this time i'm ready.

Spoiler (Click to View)

After all in the bossrush my party wasn't the one i'd use for some real fighting, Until you have auto protect/shell all what you have to care about is just casting with FuSoYa and keeping him alive, actually also Morphed Aurora kicks the ass with spells.
Oh, the battle song against FlameEagle is glitchy.
Same for the song, while Air M-tek swarm you (before Ultros), yet much less glitchy.


part 49: Once again Stop solves everything...

Spoiler (Click to View)

It's proved that Stop is overpower in ROTDS: you let that spell do all the dirty job for you, the other status dealing spell become quite useless if all monsters are weak to stop(never tried to test Break weakness, so i dunno if exists something even more broken than Stop)
The only ones in the floating continent immune to it are Ninja and Behemoth, the first one is done for with Berserk, about the other i failed in finding his status weakness... didn't try with Imp, but in the case he had 100% crit. flag, it was even worse
Time to toggle some status flag?


part 50: Remembered it just in time...

Spoiler (Click to View)

Since i have your temp. rom update i tested songs and until now the glitchy songs are fixed, happy to announce that they work!! I also returned to South Figaro just to being able to hear finally FF7 battle theme song.
Btw i fought Big Daddy and got the key item and so Zeromus Shard, damn... now i dunno what to remove to equip it.
Yet to figure out how to solve WoB Dog quest in Jericho...
PS. is it worth to steal Master Tomberry?

Hey

can i use the temp rom update as well so it fixes the songs problem for me please

Made an exception for you: i sent you a PM

To the others: please don't flood requests and just wait that Gi Nattak releases the new version

part 51: Damn, Quake is just a bait!!!

Spoiler (Click to View)

Ultima Weapon makes really insane chains, sometimes... at first i thought it was Quake the real problem, but Last Word's ambiguous timing makes just turn into a waste of turns any attempt of preventing Quake... Except Oboro, which is equiped with auto-float and regen relic, the others just heal themselves, if Fusoya miss the timing to cast float(man, i was sure even Serin learnt it!)
Despite that i fell for it at least 2 times...

PS. why Griffon Eye doesn't block berserk from Mindblast? nerfed Ribbon?


part 52: Die Zemus, you don't belong in this world!

Spoiler (Click to View)

At the end Aqua Gear was a bad choice with Ultima Weapon, removing it made Oboro live longer.
Then the well made battle against Zemus and Zuriel... while Zuriel revals himself a very talented supporter, i must say that the huge quantity of Zemus HP is not really much justified: above 20000 HP it becomes an attrition battle, since the AI shemes of Zemus aren't elaborated at all (Zuriel is the actual menace here) and there aren't many good options, Except Flare... all what you do(mainly) in the fight is Casting Flare and Heal(quite expensive) and periodically Osmose.
PS. Oboro has a fine cocky speech, but he often ends up doing the healer in those story battles...


part 53: Stuck through the road?!?

Spoiler (Click to View)

Exploiting Zuriel's weakness changes heavily the outcome of the battle, just aking: is that fine to you? i mean... Zuriel's AI periodically sets him all the good statuses, Life 3 included, it appearently looks like you want to avoid Zuriel's death at any cost...
I also found that the monster formation with 4 enemies, while escaping, show a little graphic glitch on one monster...
then i suddenly got blocked forever inside an event that shakes the earth...(take a look at it) what the heck happened with your 1.3.1 temp version? (1.3 works fine)
check those events before 1.4, it would be very bad if this glitch is still inide the next version!

Damn, sorry bout that freeze, I moved the code for it and stupidly forgot to update the jump address. Were you able to get past it using a 1.3 ROM? I could send you a fixed on if not.

Yeah Griffon Eye is Ribbon but with a couple less status protections.

And yes that auto battle with Zuriel and the Statues he is supposed to win so I tried to make real sure of that

Thanks man, I'll be sure and fix up that bad freeze so it won't be in 1.4!
